Abstract

The management structure at University Hospital was realigned into five portfolios headed by a Vice-President. Forty-five departments were consolidated into 17 teams, each headed by a manager who reports to a V.P. Biomedical Engineering (BME) was included as part of Environmental Services along with Property Services, Housekeeping and Security. BME segmented into Medical Equipment, Clinical Engineering and Dialysis Technical Services each headed by a Biomedical Engineering Technologist, Clinical Engineer or Technical Specialist respectively. BME continues to meet the needs of the hospital as individual sections within a multidisciplinary team. The management and technical duties of the previous Manager, BME, have been assumed by Manager, Environmental Services, BME staff, and the new position of Director, Technology Development. Although the past and present Manager of Environmental Services was a Clinical Engineer, in the the team could be managed by an individual with either different technical qualifications (i.e. Operating Engineer) or no technical qualifications.

生物医学工程融入大学医院环境服务

大学医院的管理结构重新调整为五个部门，由一名副总裁领导。45个部门被合并为17个小组，每个小组由一名经理领导，向副总裁报告。生物医学工程(BME)与物业服务、客房部和保安部一起被纳入环境服务部门。BME分为医疗设备、临床工程和透析技术服务，分别由生物医学工程技术专家、临床工程师或技术专家领导。BME作为一个多学科团队中的个别科室继续满足医院的需要。原BME经理的管理和技术职责已由环境服务经理、BME员工和新职位技术发展总监承担。虽然过去和现在的环境服务经理都是临床工程师，但在团队中，可以由具有不同技术资格(即操作工程师)或没有技术资格的个人管理。
